Chapter 64: A Masterpiece
"Brother Mei, could you please explain in detail what the old man asked me to do? Also, please give me a clearer idea of the old man's identity."

After three rounds of drinks, Zhong Lin asked in a low voice.

He is still confused and doesn't know what is going on.

Mei Weixuan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and said with a half-smile: "Brother Zhong, the opportunity has come!"

"what?"

"Have you heard of Baicaotang?"

"I know a little. I once bought some blood-replenishing and bone-strengthening pills on the black market. I knew these pills came from Baicaotang. To be honest, I was planning to go to Tianyang County in a while to buy some pills for cultivation."

Zhong Lin did not hide anything. After all, the sale of elixirs on the black market could not be concealed. As long as someone investigated, they would find out.

"Haha, Master Yin is the head of Baicaotang in Tianyang County, and he is also an almighty expert at the second level of Tongmai Realm. Do you think your chance has arrived?"

"This……"

Zhong Lin was firstly shocked by the identity of Master Yin, and secondly, he was pleasantly surprised that the second level of martial arts was called "Tongmai Realm".

"During the recent refugee riot in Heishan County, my second uncle suffered heavy casualties due to poor command and had no choice but to seek help from the clan. The clan elders sent me to handle the matter. Coincidentally, Master Yin and I were collecting herbs in the Heishan Mountains. Otherwise, do you think my second uncle would have been able to persuade Master Yin to come?"

"However, I didn't expect to stumble upon the trace of the Blood Soul Pill. It seems that Second Uncle will not be punished this time, but will be rewarded instead. Tsk tsk, this is incredible luck."

"Blood Soul Pill?"

Zhong Lin heard the name of a medicine that he had never heard of before.

"Don't ask me about that. Knowing too much won't do you any good. You just need to know that in the entire Great Chen Kingdom, people who want to be associated with Master Yin can queue up from Heishan County to the capital, and yet you have easily been appreciated by Master Yin. If this were to get out, I don't know how many people would be jealous. Even a little bit of what Master Yin has slipped through his fingers would be enough for you to enjoy for the rest of your life."

Mei Weixuan sighed.

Zhong Lin gave a bitter laugh and said, "My painting skills are all I can show off, but I never thought that I could be appreciated by Mr. Yin."

"Hehe, that's your amazing painting skills that I need. Master Yin is writing a masterpiece, and plans to compile hundreds of herbs in one book to explain the properties, main indications, usage rules, origin, form, collection, preparation, prescription compatibility, etc. of various herbs. The herbs need to be accompanied by illustrations, but I haven't found a suitable painter. Your three-dimensional painting skills are the best way to draw illustrations." Mei Weixuan explained.

Zhong Lin was stunned when he heard this. Isn’t this the alien version of "Compendium of Materia Medica"?

Although Zhong Lin had never read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" by Li Shizhen, the Chinese medicine saint in his previous life, he had some knowledge of it. It is said that it records nearly two thousand kinds of medicines, and this book is also known as the "Oriental Pharmacology Classic."

I didn’t expect that Master Yin was so bold and actually wanted to do the same thing as the Medicine Saint Li Shizhen.

What Zhong Lin didn't expect was that he would actually be involved. Although he was just doing illustrations, if Master Yin really completed this play, he might also be remembered forever.

"It's unbelievable." Zhong Lin murmured.

“So you know how lucky you are!”

"Yeah! I'm lucky."

Zhong Lin nodded.

When you feel sleepy, here comes the pillow.

My original plan was to go to Tianyang County, and then contact Baicaotang to see if I could learn alchemy. However, I didn't expect to get in touch with the owner of Baicaotang directly. Life is really mysterious!
"What is the name of Mr. Yin's masterpiece?"

"Tao Yan Ben Cao."

"What a great name! 'Borrowing the words of heaven, describing the essence of hundreds of herbs, relieving the sufferings of all living beings'. I should drink a cup."

Zhong Lin's eyes lit up, he exclaimed in admiration, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Your explanation is quite novel. Master Yin will surely be pleased to hear it. However, the two characters 'Daoyan' are actually Master Yin's name. Master Yin's full name is 'Yin Daoyan'." "Puff~"

Zhong Lin spat out a mouthful of wine. Fortunately, he turned his head to the side at the last moment, otherwise all the food on the table would be inedible.

"what happened?"

Mei Weixuan looked puzzled.

"What do you think Mr. Yin's full name is?"

Zhong Lin asked again, fearing that he had just heard it wrong.

"Yin Daoyan!"

"Ahem... nice name."

Zhong Lin gave a thumbs up and praised him earnestly, but the corner of his mouth twitched suddenly.

Zhong Lin also knew that he was too excited. In fact, if it were not associated with those three words, the name "Daoyan" was actually very meaningful. Moreover, there was no such name for female patients in this world. It was just that his thoughts were too dirty.

After calming down for a while, Zhong Lin asked again, "Who is the woman next to Mr. Yin?"

"Oh! That's Gu Yourong, Senior Sister Gu."

"You have space? Well, it's quite big."

Zhong Lin nodded, thinking of the amazing curve of the woman's chest. It was indeed worthy of the name, and the name had a deeper meaning.

"You and Miss Gu are both disciples of Mr. Yin?"

"No, at most, he's just a nominal disciple. Master Yin hasn't accepted any disciples. That's why so many people are trying to curry favor with Master Yin. If you can be accepted as a disciple by Master Yin, or if your children are favored by him, you'll soar to fame!"

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, and then Fuxiang led a group of dancers in.

"Mr. Zhong, you finally came to see Fuxiang. Fuxiang thought she would never see you again."

As she spoke, Fuxiang threw herself into Zhong Lin's arms, tears streaming down her cheeks like pearls, and she looked so timid and pitiful.

Zhong Lin also took the opportunity to hold Fuxiang's slender waist and said softly, "It's all because of the recent military chaos. I came here as soon as I had some free time. I haven't painted for you, Miss Fuxiang, for a long time. I missed you so much!"

Fuxiang's delicate face suddenly turned red, and she punched Zhong Lin twice on the chest, neither lightly nor heavily.

"Hate."

Mei Weixuan blinked twice and showed a smile that all men understand.

"Brother Zhong is really good at playing games!"

"Haha, it's just a little story, Lu'e, this guy is an important person from the county city, his last name is Mei, you have to treat him well, don't neglect him."

Zhong Lin emphasized the two words "surname Mei", and the eyes of the girl Lu'e who followed Fuxiang lit up, and the smile on her face became even more charming.

The girl who could gain a foothold in Nuanxiang Tower was not only good-looking, but also intelligent. The mere surname "Mei" made her think of many things. The BR County Master's surname was Mei.

"Master Mei, Lu'e is late, so I'll have to drink a glass as punishment. Please don't be angry!"

"Haha, how could I be angry with a beauty? Come on, cheers."
